DEARBORN TRACTOR-LIFT MEASUREMENTS, PHOTOS, AND DETAILS

THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE COMPLETE UNIT. PART IN FOREGROUND GOES UNDER FRONT OF TRACTOR

A SIDE VIEW OF LIFT.

DIMENSIONS OF FRONT ASSEMBLY. THE CHAIN IS OF LIGHT CONSTRUCTION, LIKE A DOG-CHAIN. WEIGHT OF ASSY IS ABOUT 5 POUNDS, NOT COUNTING CHAIN.

DETAILS OF SECTION THAT GOES UNDER REAR AXLE OF TRACTOR. THIS ASSY, WITH THE LIFT ARMS, WEIGHS ABOUT 28 POUNDS.

THIS IS THE ARM ASSY THAT ATTACHES TO THE LIFT ARMS OF THE TRACTOR. IT PIVOTS ON THE PREVIOUSLY-SHOWN ASSEMBLY.

DETAILS OF THE CRADLE THAT ACTUALLY GOES UNDER THE REAR AXLE. IT IS MADE OF FLAT STEEL, THE ENDS ARE ROUNDED FOR SAFETY AND NEATNESS.

HERE IS A CLOSER SHOT OF THE AREA WHERE THE UNIT SWIVELS. THE CHAIN MOUNTS ARE ABOUT 8" FROM THE JOINT. THE SWIVEL ITSELF IS MERELY A PIECE OF TUBING WITH AN I.D. SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN THE 1 5/8" O.D. TUBING THE BASE IS MADE OF.

UPDATE NOTE.... PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTOR SINKING LOWER AS THE HYDRAULICS LEAK DOWN CAN BE SOLVED QUITE SIMPLY BY THE USE OF LIMITER-CHAINS. HOOKING THEM ON WITH THE LIFT IN RAISED POSITION WILL INSURE THAT THE TRACTOR WILL REMAIN IN THE AIR.
